Final Conference of the Small Karazin University, May 24–25, 2025

The XXI Final Conference of the Small Karazin University took place on May 24–25, 2025, where young researchers presented the results of their academic-year projects.

Among the presented projects were:

• “Who Solves Sudoku Faster: a Human or AI?” by Alisa Vynnychenko (8th grade),

• “AI Helps Create Music: About √2 and More” by Kyrylo Krutovyi (8th grade),

• “AI Assisting Mathematicians: Developing a Python App to Calculate the Average Number of Goals in Football” by Kyrylo Nychyk (8th grade),

• “Creating Dot-to-Dot Images in GeoGebra” by Daria Popovych (6th grade).

During the practical session, attendees practiced their math skills by answering questions in webquests created by 6th-grade students Artur Baburin and Vitaliia Malko on the "Vseosvita" platform. They also engaged with the computer game “Escape from MathLand” created by Artem Holovko (8th grade) on Genially, and played games developed by Volodymyr Halushchak (6th grade) in Scratch and Hlib Borovskyi (6th grade) in Clickteam Fusion 2.5.

Participants also watched the math meme “That’s Just People” by Anna-Maria Nikulochkina (6th grade), the animation “Battle for c²: Pythagoras vs Einstein” by Oleksandra Rozhkova (6th grade), and an ornament animation “For Vyshyvanka Day” by Vlada Soliannikova (8th grade). They explored how the “elephant toothpaste” experiment helps understand catalysis and decomposition processes in the human body (by Maksym Oher, 9th grade), and learned about winning strategies in small board games thanks to the research by Ivan Kulachenko (9th grade), as well as in ball sports thanks to Andrii Omelchenko (8th grade).
